This SAE Recommended Practice defines the principal terms and equations pertaining to automotive automatic transmission clutch plate, band, or other wet-friction systems. The terms apply directly to friction-system testing as is typically conducted on inertia-stop test equipment. Some terms can be directly applied to the analysis of friction in the transmission or brake assembly and other friction-test equipment. The glossary presents terms used to describe the set-up, testing, and results of tests as shown in Figure 1, which were taken on a clutch SAE No. 2 machine. The glossary is intended to provide a collection of definitions in the hope of eliminating confusion in development and their application to passenger cars and trucks. This document focuses on the terminology of friction-system testing. References for this type of testing are shown in Section 2.

The range of test conditions on the dynamometer shall be sufficient to determine the primary operating characteristics corresponding to the full range of vehicle operations. The characteristics to be determined are: a Torque ratio versus speed ratio and output speed. b Input speed versus speed ratio and output speed. c Efficiency versus speed ratio and output speed. d Capacity factor versus speed ratio and output speed. e Input torque versus input speed. NOTE: For more information about these characteristics and the design of hydrodynamic drives, see "Design Practices--Passenger Car Automatic Transmissions," SAE Advances in Engineering, Vol. 5.

Since the torque converter and fluid coupling are commonly used components of automatic transmissions in industry, the SAE appointed a committee to standardize terminology, test procedure, data recording, design symbols, and so forth, in this field. The following committee recommendations will facilitate a clear understanding for engineering discussions, comparisons, and the preparation of technical papers. The recommended usages represent the predominant practice or the acceptable practice. Where agreement is not complete, alternates have been included for clarification. This SAE Recommended Practice deals only with the physical parts and dimensions and does not attempt to standardize the design considerations, such as the actual fluid flow angle resulting from the physical blade shape.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended as the definition of a standard test, which may be subject to frequent change to keep pace with experience and technical advances. This should be kept in mind when considering its use. The specific purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to define a procedure to determine intrinsic properties of friction materials such as compressive modulus and rebound/recovery time at specific fatigue test pressures. Results from this test will both independently characterize the friction material and serve as input to the compression fatigue test. NOTE: If this test is intended to determine the rebound interval for the compression fatigue test, then the maximum test pressure (Pmax) in this procedure must be selected with future fatigue testing levels in mind. It is important that the rebound time is sufficient at the maximum apply pressure to allow the matieral to rebound back to its original thickness. Standard reporting processes are recommended.
